If you are into farming we recommend visiting the outdoor museum situated along an interesting educational path in Oberlienz in East Tyrol

The sunny villages of East Tyrol, that is, Oberlienz, Thurn and Gaimberg are surrounded by the so-called "sunny paths" which are theme paths. One of them is called "Vom Leben" and focuses on life in the previous centuries and historic buildings which once played an essential role.
In this area you can admire five buildings, two mills (Lamprecht-Oberragger-Mühle and the Zoppmühle), still functioning farrier smithies and the municipal sawmill. The last, well-preserved spinning wheel of Oberlienz, also known as Brechelstube, and a watermill with a paddle wheel and a granary from 1778.
The Freilichtmuseum Oberlienz was inaugurated in the 1960s. At the time the smithy, which was originally built in Thal in the municipality of Assling, was moved to Oberlienz. Other buildings which are evocative of the architecture of former times were added to the itinerary. A visit to the museum can be rounded off with a beautiful walk. The Freilichtmuseum Oberlienz also organises demonstrations of traditional crafts.
